There are 135 variations of Brady's rookie card. Collector Joe Prizio, who had Rick Probstein -- the largest volume sports memorabilia seller on eBay -- list the card that sold for $250,000, has all 135.
Probstein did tell ESPN that, "for a modern-day card, this one has had issues -- from chipping on the sides, to centering, to the autograph."

What makes the card so valuable is the autograph and that only 100 were produced in 2000. Of the cards that have been graded by collectors, this card has been graded in the best condition.
Prizio bought the card three years ago for $15,000, ESPN reported. His profit: more than 1,500 percent before the dealer gets his cut.

"I wanted to enjoy Brady cards, but I also wanted to make good investments," Prizio told ESPN. "Brady, in the card world, is now being mentioned in the same breath as (Michael) Jordan and Mickey Mantle."
Another card owned by Prizio is listed with a Buy It Now price of $500,000

The mysterious player who accidentally injured New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has been identified.
Running back Rex Burkhead was involved in the incident that saw Brady sustain an injured right hand during Wednesday's practice, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL.com. While it's not clear how the injury exactly happened, multiple outlets reported that it came on a play where Brady executed a handoff.
"It was Rex Burkhead," Garafolo said on "Good Morning Football." "He'll be safe, though."

The shutdown of the government will prevent U.S. military personnel overseas from watching Sunday's NFL conference championship games.
The American Forces Network, which provides entertainment and command information to American military overseas and was scheduled to telecast the AFC and NFC title games, stopped broadcasting Saturday in Europe, Stars and Stripes reported.
The military newspaper displayed an image of a message provided by the network Saturday. It showed the AFN logo with the words: "Due to the government shutdown, AFN services are not available."
